1964 Ferrari 330 GT 2+2 Series 1
Ferrari 330 GT 2+2 Series 1 chassis 5839 is among just 36 right-hand-drive examples from the 503 built between 1963 and 1965. Ordered through UK importer Maranello Concessionaires and collected directly from the factory, it accumulated around 45,000 miles in early British use before passing through several UK hands and eventually being exported to California in the late 1970s. Repatriated to the UK in 2014, the car subsequently underwent a comprehensive £73,000 mechanical rebuild and carries an extensively documented history file spanning its entire life.
